Line 3 of the Hanoi Metro (Vietnamese: Tuyến số 3 đường sắt đô thị Hà Nội) is a rapid transit line in Hanoi, Vietnam. The line currently runs from Nhổn, a suburb in Bắc Từ Liêm District, west of city center, to its current terminus in Cầu Giấy Bus Interchange, located in Cầu Giấy district. When fully operational, the line will continue eastbound toward Hanoi Station, providing a direct connection to downtown Hanoi and the city's main railway station. The line operates between 5.30 am and 10pm, with headways of 6 minutes during peak hours (7 am - 8.30 am and 4.30 pm to 6pm), and 10 minutes during off-peak hours. All trains on Line 3 operate with a 4-cars formation.

This line was the first to be built in Hanoi Metro network, starting construction in September 2010 with an expected completion date in late 2016, with a budget of 18 trillion VND[7] (US$1 billion in 2010) However, the project was plagued with delays and budget overrun, total about 34.532 trillion VND (US$1.46 billion) in 2022.

The line is divided into three segments: The first segment, which runs from Nhổn to Hanoi Station. This segment is 12.5 kilometres (7.8 mi) long, consists of 12 stations in total,[8] with the first 8.5 kilometres (5.3 mi) (between Nhon and Cau Giay) running elevated, while the last 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) (between Cau Giay) and Ha Noi running underground. In addition, there have been plans for a southern extension (second segment), which will run from Hanoi Station to southern district of Hoàng Mai, and a northern extension (third segment) toward Sơn Tây.[9] Currently, only the elevated phase of first segment (between Nhon and Cau Giay) is operational. About 20% of Hanoi's population in 6 districts Ba Đình, Cầu Giấy, Đống Đa, Hoàn Kiếm, Nam Từ Liêm and Bắc Từ Liêm can benefit from this line.

History

[edit]

Initial developments

[edit]

Line 3 dated back to 1998, when the Vietnamese government approved the 2020 vision Master Plan, which prioritise the building of a rail transit system, with a target to build 5 metro lines. Line 3 was one of the original lines considered in the master plan.[10]

Two separate preliminary feasibility studies was conducted in 2004 and 2005 with the help of the Asian Development Bank to determine the viability of Line 3.[11]

Four options were originally considered:

  1. An elevated metro line running from Nhổn depot to Swedish Embassy on Kim Mã Avenue, then running underground to Hanoi Station;
  2. An at-grade tramway section between Nhổn and Ringway 3, then an elevated line to Swedish Embassy on Kim Mã Avenue, then running underground to Hanoi Station;
  3. Similar to option 2, but the at-grade tramway would be converted to a dedicated metro line;
  4. An at-grade tramway section between Nhổn and to Swedish Embassy on Kim Mã Avenue, then running underground to Hanoi Station.

Out of all options, options 2 and 3 were eliminated from further consideration due to congestion and performance issues associated with a mixed circulation tramway system. Option 4 was discounted from further consideration because even though it involved a system operating on a partially dedicated route, significant adverse changes to traffic management were required, particularly at intersections and pedestrian crossings and it would have resulted in reduced operating efficiencies and travel times. As a result, option 1, which was forecasted to carry up to 458,000 people daily,[12] was selected as the preferred option.[13]

The name and location of stations were finalized in the 2009 Final Feasibility Study. Based on this study, fifteen stations were reduced to 12 stations, 8 elevated and 4 underground. A twin bored tunnel concept using tunnel boring machines (TBM) was selected to tunnel 15 to 8 m underground and to utilize the centerline of existing surface roads. Two underground stations, Cat Linh and Van Mieu, were relocated one block eastward to avoid cultural significant sites.[13]

Budget

[edit]

Beside 276 million euros from the Hanoi city's budget, the project also receives 726 million euros from the four donors - the French government (DGT), French Development Agency (AFD), Asian Development Bank (ADB),[14] and European Investment Bank (EIB).

Construction progress

[edit]

Implementation of the project is delayed by four years compared to the original schedule with completion expected in 2021. As of March 2017, the project has achieved 30% physical progress over the elapsed project life of 9 years. However, the project completion is expected to be delayed to 2027.[15] [16] [17] [18] [19]

The 8.5 kilometres elevated section opened on 8 August 2024 betweem Nhon and Hanol station.[20]
